Rodgers said in his post-game press conference that the slur, yelled by one spectator as the rest of the stadium hushed in a moment of quiet respect, displayed “the kind of prejudicial ideology that puts us in the position that we’re in today as a world”.

Aaron Rodgers wasn’t great during Sunday’s game. “This is the type of game where you have to be sound”.
Rodgers and the Packers started the season hot, winning their first six games. Mason and I work together as a unit, and it’s not like anybody’s pointing fingers in this locker room or anything like that.
“He’s been in the meetings more, he’s talking a lot more on the football field, asking a lot of questions, what we’re seeing, what we’re thinking”, receiver James Jones said. When the Packers visited the White House following their Super Bowl XLV win, they presented Obama, a noted Chicago Bears fan, with an honorary share of Packers stock, to which Obama replied: “If I’m a part owner, what I’m thinking is we should initiate a trade to send Rodgers down to the Bears”. They met in the NFC Championship a year ago, but now they both need wins and they ain’t coming fast or easy.
“And then obviously with Aaron I got a few passes throughout the week in practices so you get that trust”.
“We heard this rumor, and it caught me off guard because I didn’t see it or feel it”, Masthay said Monday, via Demovsky.
To beat Oakland, a depleted secondary is probably going to have to figure out a way to slow down a high-powered passing game with quarterback Derek Carr throwing to wide receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree.
Needless to say, this is the right move by Rodgers. So again, we’ve been playing since we were little boys and that’s our dream to be here playing. The Packers are on a three-game losing streak, while the Vikings have won five in a row and look to build on their NFC North lead.

“I don’t think (game manager) is what he is”, Zimmer said. “I don’t know what a game manager is really”. They’re also third-best at stopping teams on third down – a category where the Packers’ offense has struggled. Merely sometimes ago the same team looked like a completely different squad in its three-game skid than the one that began the season 6-0. On special teams, I think they’re playing very disciplined and they also have a big-time returner there. They’ve got a young roster, a quarterback for the ages with plenty of life left in his career, and a commitment to drafting and developing young talent that guarantees big games deep into the future.
